Miraclon has expanded its long-standing partnership with Windmöller & Hölscher by installing a new FLEXCEL NX Ultra 42 solution at the W&H Technology Centre. The new water washout system replaces the existing FLEXCEL NX Ultra 35 solution and enables the production of larger printing plates.
‘Our Technology Centre plays an important role in demonstrating to packaging printers how individual technologies can be combined to create an efficient and industrially scalable printing solution. In close cooperation with Miraclon, we integrate leading plate-making technology into our printing press demonstrations to set the performance benchmark for flexographic printing systems from A to Z,’ explains Frederik Petzold, Head of Technical Sales at W&H. “The FLEXCEL NX Ultra 42 solution offers greater flexibility for wide web printing and the plate performance required for strictly controlled, data-driven press demonstrations. Thanks to consistent multi-surface structuring and stable ink transfer, we can demonstrate our printing presses with optimal operating efficiency: with larger process windows, faster print stabilisation and the repeatable print quality that packaging printers want to see when evaluating modern flexographic printing technologies.”
‘Our collaboration with W&H is an effective tool for demonstrating the concrete benefits of FLEXCEL NX technology and modern flexographic printing in practice,’ said Grant Blewett, Chief Commercial Officer at Miraclon. “The FLEXCEL NX Ultra solution offers the proven printing performance of FLEXCEL NX with the added benefit of being solvent- and VOC-free. The system delivers consistent ink transfer, stable printing behaviour and predictable results. In action at W&H, it convincingly demonstrates how modern flexographic printing can offer packaging producers around the world efficiency, sustainability and production control.”
